I honestly don’t think they did a test at all. It’s legal for cops to lie in this state and they probably did it just to try and scare them. Everyone I’ve talked to knows that the fentanyl problem is coming from inside the house. And it’s been maddening hearing him in his cronies claim otherwise.

Personally, I would interpret this differently. This wasn’t a lie, this was gross incompetence. I choose to accept their bullshit at face value and let it play out on its own.

These cops are so stupid and so incapable of completing their job that they either found a positive fentanyl test and were so incompetent as to not find the drugs, or so incompetent as to apply the drug test incorrectly. You can also assume a third option that these officers were on fentanyl and contaminated the test themselves with their own supply.

All three of these options all result in better odds of them being removed from their job than them lying, which is legal for them to do for some reason. And just to be clear my comment isn’t about what actually happened, it’s about sharing the “correct” narrative the same way they do.

I wish more people would talk about cops in terms of incompetence when they lie.

Best way to teach a habitual lying child to stop, is to start lying to them about things that they like and then not making good on those promises. Yeah we’ll go to your favorite fast food, and then drive by and let them cry about it. Yeah I’ll let you pick out one toy, and then tell them you changed your mind. Each time you can explain to them how it’s the same as what they’ve been doing, and they feel it. AI can’t feel emotions, and never will so long as their memory extends only to their previous conversation.

As an American™, the best thing Canada can do for us as a friend and neighbor, is exactly what you guys have been doing. Smack our hands, ban our goods, and treat us as we behave. Collective humility is the only thing that’s going to end up bringing about change.

As a friend and neighbor in need, thank you.

I’m sure you know this but freedom fighters have long been called terrorists to try to delegitimize their cause. It takes a very special kind of bravery to risk everything and more for what you believe in, Knowing that you’ll be slandered and slurred by what you’re fighting against. I just hope in the end they’re all vindicated.

On another note, it’s wild that when the other side commits the same actions listed above it is never officially labeled as terrorism. We’re all living in crazy land.

Well, we can dig deep enough for the context at least. For anyone interested in the facts:

Sir, that’s NOT true & you know it! It’s got nothing to do with your skin colour. Starlink is welcome to operate in South Africa provided there’s compliance with local laws," [Clayson] Monyela [Senior official of foreign affairs] wrote. “This is a global international trade & investment principle.” And later on in the article, “[There are] local Black Economic Empowerment rules that foreign-owned telecommunications licensees sell 30% of the equity in their local subsidiaries to historically disadvantaged groups.”

And just to be clear it’s local subsidiaries not the entire Starlink business. He’s just upset that he’s being required to follow local laws, and hasn’t been able to find anyone to bribe into rewriting them for him.

I used to have a basement wolf spider that occasionally would wander upstairs. I’d scoop him up in a cup taking back down to where all the bugs come in. Dude was massive I remember seeing him around for a little over a year before he disappeared. After he presumably died house centipedes moved in. God damn nightmare creatures by comparison. At least they do a better job of staying downstairs.

My employer uses Cigna and with them it’s $1,300. They keep asking what my pain level is and I keep telling them none. When I explain to them why I’m not getting the surgery yet they seemed absolutely baffled for some reason. They tried to get me to sign up for a medical credit card offering zero APR. I told them does zero APR mean also $0 a month, because that’s about how much I can afford. And again they acted like not moving mountains and stirring the oceans was a me thing. Absolutely fucking wild.

I’ve been saying it for nearly a decade, conservatives and Christians as a whole respond only to shame. If you want them to change you need to shame them for their terrible choices and ideas. It needs to be relentless it needs to be continuous. Like a child you just caught smearing shit on a wall.

Yeah, Snot did a really good job. I’m actually saving this to forward on to other people. Thank you for making this post and thank you Snot for your reply.

Copilot’s version.

I think you’ve also described virtually all corporate employers.

A DeSantis attorney already has. “it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them”. That is what they’re against… Wow.
